"Our goal is make sure that everyone understands that psychology is the science of
behavior, cognition and emotion. Everyone should recognize psychology as a STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics)
discipline. Everyone should associate psychologist with scientist."

--Stephen Breckler, Ph.D., APA Science Directorate

WKU now has two departments with programs in psychology. The creation of the Department of Psychological Sciences in November 2013, brings
WKU into better alignment with the American Psychological Association's vision for
the future of psychology.
